Since the declaration of the enhanced community quarantine, people have been picking up new hobbies and widening their skill set through online workshops and courses that have been made available to everyone.
One of the latest topics that people can now learn more about is agriculture, as the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) is offering online workshops on agricultural business and practices nationwide through the e-Learning for Agriculture and Fisheries program.

The ATI is the training arm of the Department of Agriculture, and their e-learning program has been providing electronic courses for people who work or are interested in the agriculture and natural resources sector.
People can participate in courses that discuss agricultural practices for vegetable production, starting crop enterprises for citrus fruits and straw mushrooms, basic urban gardening and basic beekeeping.

Those interested need to create an account on the e-learning portal and register for the course they are interested in. Questions and concerns on any of the courses or their crops can be directed to the Farmers’ Contact Center at 0920-9462474.
